Mec Wheels Lag

Hi everyone,

We are using a a mec bot with 4 Victors and CIM motors and seem to be experiencing some issues. When we run the robot on blocks using the standard mec code, which ever motor we plug in PWM 1 runs fine, but the rest do not. After we stop trying to move forward, the other three motors do not stop instantly. We have tried switching out the sidecar, the PWMs, and switched different ports, with no success. Has anyone experienced a problem like this? Thanks in advance!

Re: Mec Wheels Lag

Are all four of your speed controllers set to "brake"?
It's a jumper by the Victor PWM connector.
